1、Designation: D6253 16Standard Practice forTreatment and/or Marking of Wood Packaging Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6253; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the development of recommendedtreatment, or marking practices, or both, for wood packagingmaterials (WPM) and aids

3、 in identifying WPM as to phytosani-tary treatment, intended service cycles, repair, the specificspecification used to manufacture or recycle, and other userdesignated characteristics.1.2 This practice identifies WPM treated, or marked, or bothin accordance with industry, government, or internationa

4、lrecognized standards.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety

5、concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
